hop twist, for The Playoffs in the NBA on ceejaysports.com as I Sprinkle a
Little Spiritually in YOUR Sports!!! It’s Go Time!!!

Kawhi Leonard with theemphatic jam

A
pair of Game 5’s were on the menu last night for the NBA Playoffs and in both
games, it a little Louisiana Cajun flavor as two teams were cooking with some
spices, but I digress! Let’s see what was cooking in the Eastern Conference
Semi as the Philadelphia 76ers were looking to throw the Raptors of Toronto on the
grill and take 3 – 2 lead. Both teams got off to a nice start as the Raptors
lead by 1 after the 1st, but they turned up the heat and tossed in
some hot sauce and outscored the 76er’s by 20 to take a 64 – 43 halftime lead.
The 76er’s made it a game in the 3rd, but the pot was too big to
climb out of coupled with 19 turnovers that led to 31 points for the Raptors as
they set a franchise record for three pointers in a post season game with 16 and
they went on to and literally spank the 76er’s 125 – 89 as six Raptors were in
double figures as Pascal Siakim brought his A game with 25 points and 8 boards
and a double-double by Kawhi Leonard with 21 points and 13 rebounds as the
Raptors take a 3 – 2 series lead and will look to close out the series on Thursday.

Paul Milsap ate realgood against the Blazers

The
Western Conference Semi’s kind of mirrored the East game as the Denver Nuggets were
looking to turn up the heat on the Portland Trailblazers by taking a 3 – 2 series
as Paul Milsap put on his experienced sous chef hat and cooked up 19 of his 24
points in the first half as the Nuggets lead 65 – 47. The Blazers tried
lighting the grill but kept coming up short as their field goal percentage
which was below 37% and rebounding almost mirrored the halftime score as the
Nuggets out rebounded the Blazers 62 – 44. The Nuggets ate real good from to
start to finish with the wire win as they bamboozled, branded and broke down,
Alliteration, I Love It, the Blazers 124 – 98 as the Nuggets had 7 players in
double figures as Nikola Jokic had 19 monster rebounds and 25 points for a
double-double as they look shut down the Blazers restaurant for code violations
on Thursday in the closeout game.

For
your Quick NBA News & Notes, Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star Paul George
underwent rotator cuff surgery to repair a partially torn tendon in his right
shoulder and is expected to miss at least the start of preseason training camp
and his running mate Russell Westbrook also had surgery to repair a torn
ligament on one of his fingers on his left hand.
